We have two of these in our tank that we won via raffle at this past Oct. MAAST meeting. I'm pretty sure they came from Sam's neck of the woods, but not positive. These hermits have gotten HUGE. I always keep extra shells in the tank for the inverts to grow into, and these hermits are currently in the biggest shells I have. :o They only come out at night to feed, and tend to knock over frags...but not a big deal. One of them has a particularly large claw. I'm wondering if any of you have this type of hermit in your tank? Could they become a danger to my fish & inverts since they are getting so big? I guess I'm still trying to figure out what caused the Hippo to jump tank, and this is the only thing I can come up with. Comments? I can try to get a pic of one tonight if that will help.

On a side note, they are beautiful, but I don't want to endanger the rest of our livestock.
